WesAudio HYPERION Parametric Equalizer (500 Series)

_HYPERION is fully analog parametric EQ with +24dBu of headroom. It features a lot of innovative improvements that no other processor on the market provides. Its innovative design utilizes 15 VCAs per channel to provide essentially noiseless parameter changes and very musical nature. _HYPERION is next product in NG500 line where total recall is implemented through front panel USB socket or _TITAN chassis. 

 

INNOVATIVE HARDWARE CIRCUIT. _HYPERION is fully analog device with +24 dBu of headroom. It’s innovative design utilizes 18 VCAs per channel. 

4-BAND EQ with switchable gain range for 5db or 15dB boost or cut per band:

  • High band – 2kHz to 25kHz (bell or shelf)
  • High-Mid band – 600Hz to 8Khz with full Q control
  • Low-Mid band – 200Hz to 2.5Khz with full Q control
  • Low band – 30 Hz to 350Hz (bell or shelf)

STEREO / DUAL MONO / MID-SIDE operation modes. _HYPERION can work in 3 different modes, including MS, which makes it perfect solution for multiple applications! 

HIGH PASS FILTER. HPF with 12dB/Oct or 6 dB/Oct slopes 

EACH BAND FEATURES ITS OWN BYPASS SWITCH. For easy comparison, each band can by independently bypassed, dialing new sounds in, has never been that easy! 

THD – ADD COLOR TO YOUR MIXES.  THD stands for “Total harmonic distortion” and it allows to saturate your signal with beautiful analog color. 

FLEXIBLE DAW / LIVE PLUG-IN control for instant recall. Stereo plugin which handles all modes of operation – Stereo/Dual Mono/Mid-Side. Mono plugin where two separate instances can connect to same hardware managing each channel separately. IN/OUT metering with clip detection. Flexible parametric EQ GUI. Plugin comes in AAX/AAX DSP/VST3/VST2/AU.

Unit needs to warm up for about 5 minutes before usage as its temperature may affect some internal variables – like frequencies of each band, and very slightly gain and Q settings. Each band can boost or cut in configurable gain mode (It affects also OUTPUT control):

  • 15dB boost or cut in 0.25 dB steps
  • 5dB boost or cut in 0.083 dB steps

Each frequency control has predefined amount of steps in logarithmic scale:

  • HF frequency – 256 steps,
  • HMF frequency – 256 steps,
  • LMF frequency – 256 steps,
  • LF frequency – 200 steps,
  • HPF frequency – 128 steps.
